Is AD 2014-24-01 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2014-24-01 requires a repetitive inspection every 2000 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2014-24-01 apply to?

AD 2014-24-01 applies to De Havilland — models DH 82A, DH 83, DH 82. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Various de Havilland Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Harry E. Williams de Havilland Model DH 82A airplanes, all Cliff Robertson de Havilland Model DH 82A airplanes, and all de Havilland Model DH 83 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of structural failure of the attachment of the wing to the fuselage that resulted from failed lateral fuselage tie rods. This AD requires inspecting the aircraft maintenance records to determine the date of installation or the date of last replacement of the lateral fuselage tie rods. This AD also requires repetitively replacing all lateral fuselage tie rods and attaching nuts at a specified life limit interval. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 2000 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Type certificates for these airplanes are held by Harry E. Williams and Cliff Robertson.

Whether AD 2014-24-01 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
